Home Forums kdb+ Sym File Locking Re: Sym File Locking

    What precisely does at a process level mean? Does that mean only if a single port is multithreading (i.e. peaching and writing to the sym file the lock will be used)? Or I have two distinct ports both writing to the sym file, this built in locking won’t work?
    My hypothesis is in the latter (multiple ports writing to the sym file at once), there is no locking of the sym file and we are seeing some concurrent writes. Solution for us to write our own lock that can handle these cases.
